Trump says Iran is developing missiles that can reach US
A major earthquake struck the coastal region this morning, damaging homes, halting transportation, and triggering emergency evacuations. Local authorities reported multiple injuries and are coordinating search-and-rescue teams with disaster relief agencies on the scene.
Emergency services say initial assessments indicate widespread structural damage, with several buildings collapsed in urban centers. Hospitals are treating casualties and setting up temporary triage zones as power outages complicate response efforts.
Officials urge residents to stay away from affected zones, follow shelter-in-place orders where issued, and await further instructions for safe evacuation routes and relief distribution points. International aid agencies are pledging support to accelerate recovery operations.
